Morning Academics

Mornings: 9 a.m.–12 p.m.
Grade Level: Entering Grades 1–4 

We aim to prepare each camper for a smooth transition to the new school year with an engaging, theme-based curriculum in coed, grade-specific classrooms.

Each session of Morning Academics begins with a basic review of concepts from the previous grade level. Teachers differentiate instruction and reinforce common themes, standards and expectations from the prior school year aimed to help solidify existing skill sets and knowledge bases. As camp progresses, the focus shifts to reflect a curriculum that campers can expect in the coming year, with an emphasis on math and language arts. A fully integrated Digital Literacy & Design program is available for campers in the Morning Academics program, with full access to the Unkefer Spark Studio, where students will explore, design, engineer and tinker.

Routines and expectations provide a comfortable space for making new friends and building upon existing relationships. All campers are informally assessed, and feedback is shared with families throughout the session. Campers leave the program having gained valuable experience and confidence that prepares them for a smooth transition into the next grade level. 

All campers are invited to join us for the afternoon Young at Heart Recreation Camp, where students enjoy a variety of grade-appropriate rotations. Past rotations have included science, art, movement, film-making, gymnastics, yoga, West African percussion, engineering and tinkering. For those who stay, lunch will begin at 12 p.m.
